TEMS Investigation 15.3 Information Elements and Events

3. Information Elements

The tables below list all information elements that can be presented by TEMS
Investigation. For ease of reference, each category on the Info Element tab
of the Navigator is still covered in one single, alphabetically ordered list.
(Certain minor deviations from strict alphabetical order occur in the
application in order to achieve more logical orderings and groupings.)
However, since the number and diversity of the information elements are
great, a special column with codes is used in some tables to distinguish
important subgroups among the elements.

Chapter 3. Information Elements

3.1. GSM Information Elements

3.1.1. General

3.1.1.1. Properties of Information Elements: The Asterisk


Column
In the column marked *, a set of codes is used to state conditions under
which an information element is
• valid: a non-trivial condition must be fulfilled for the element to be valid
• not valid: the element is normally valid, but in certain circumstances it is
not (code ends in “–”)
• extended compared to the simplest GSM case: the element sometimes
carries more information, for example when frequency hopping is used
(code ends in “+”)
If nothing is written in the asterisk column, the element is always valid
(provided it is supported by the device).

Code Meaning
c Valid if a cell file is loaded.
g Valid when running GPRS. Not valid for voice.
g+ The element is richer for (E)GPRS, in one of the following ways:
• more values, i.e. more arguments – e.g. C/I Best
• values have a more complex meaning – e.g. C/I Hopping
List (average over timeslots)
• larger range of possible values – e.g. Channel Type.
g– Not valid when running (E)GPRS.
ga Valid in GAN mode or for GAN-capable devices.
h Valid if frequency hopping is used.

NT13-24937 ver 1.0 I&E-5


TEMS Investigation 15.3 Information Elements and Events

Code Meaning
h+ The element is richer if frequency hopping is used.
If frequency hopping is used, the element covers all channels in
the hopping list.
• No GPRS connection: One value for each channel
(arguments 0 through 63)
• GPRS: One value for each timeslot used on each channel
(arguments 0 through 64  8 – 1 = 511). Exception: C/I
Hopping List has only one value for each channel
(arguments 0 through 63).
If frequency hopping is not used, the element contains values
for the single channel employed.
• No GPRS connection: One single value (argument 0).
• GPRS: One value for each timeslot used on the channel
(arguments 0 through 7).
Example: C/I Best.
hc+ If frequency hopping is used, the element covers all channels in
the hopping list. One value for each channel (arguments 0
through 63).
No separate values for each timeslot for a GPRS connection.
Example: C/I Hopping List.
h– Not valid if frequency hopping is used.
hs Valid when running HSCSD. Not valid for voice.
hs+ The element is richer for HSCSD, in one of the following ways:
• more values, i.e. more arguments – e.g. C/I Best
• values have a more complex meaning – e.g. C/I Hopping
List (average over timeslots)
• larger range of possible values – e.g. Channel Type.
hs– Not valid when running HSCSD.
p Reported by positioning equipment.
s Reported from GSM RSSI scanning.

I&E-6
Chapter 3. Information Elements

Code Meaning
si (Reported from interference scanning with a Sony Ericsson
GSM phone.) This function is no longer supported in any
connectable device, but the information elements are retained in
this description since old logfiles with interference scan data can
still be loaded in the application.
ss Reported from GSM spectrum scanning.

3.1.1.2. “Full” and “Sub” Values


Information elements with “Full” in their names are calculated on all blocks.
Information elements with “Sub” in their names are calculated only on the
blocks known to be sent also when downlink DTX is active (in each
104-multiframe, one TCH block with SID information and one SACCH block).

3.6.1.1. Notes on CINR


The number of samples on which to base the CINR mean values and
standard deviations is set in the WiMAX scan setup dialog (UM section
22.3.1, “Number of Samples for Stats”). However, this figure only serves as a
guideline to the scanner; in practice the scanner may on some occasions use
a lower number of samples as input to the statistics calculation. This number
is reported in the “Samples Taken” elements (see below).
Note that as power level fluctuations become minute, the standard deviation
likewise approaches zero and hence tends towards negative infinity when
expressed in dB. A large negative number has been used as the lower
endpoint for the standard deviation range.

3.8. Data Service Testing Information Elements

3.8.1. General
This section lists the information elements in the Data category, i.e. those
obtained when performing data service testing. The Data category contains
the following kinds of elements:
• Application-level data service measurements: These reflect the
performance experienced directly by the user of the service, as opposed
to the performance at lower levels in the protocol hierarchy (RLC, LLC,
RLP, etc.). The latter is indicated mostly by information elements in other
categories such as GSM and WCDMA. Compare, however, the remaining
bullets below.
• Transport layer measurements: UDP elements.
• Link layer measurements.
Throughput elements in the Data category are either instantaneous or
averages taken over the entire duration of the network connection. These
elements contrast with the throughputs reported in KPI events (see
section 8.4), which are measured over the period defined in each KPI, as
described in the Technical Reference, chapter 11. All KPI data is furnished
by these events; no KPIs are based on the information elements in the
Data category.
The Data category information elements are independent of the bearer
service used (packet-switched or circuit-switched).

3.8.2. Updating of Data Service Testing IEs


The following applies:
1 General application throughput elements (those beginning with
“Application Layer Throughput”) are updated once every second.
2 Instantaneous throughput elements for individual services apply to the
latest reporting period, unless otherwise indicated.
3 Transfer times indicate elapsed time for a currently active data transfer
(e.g. an FTP download). They are incremented every second and are
reset after the data transfer has concluded.
4 Unless otherwise indicated, average throughputs, byte counts, and all
percentages apply to the period following the latest network connect

3.9. Media Quality Information Elements

3.9.1. General
This category holds information elements related to quality measurement for
various media.
Currently, this category is limited to AQM (PESQ/POLQA with ancillary data
such as volume measurements). It does not incorporate quality measures
that are not produced in connection with AQM, such as SQI.
It is useful to recapitulate the meaning of the “uplink” elements:
• In the ACU R2 setup, the uplink elements are populated in the mobile-to-
fixed configuration, where they are calculated by the CallGenerator. In the
other configurations, the uplink elements are not populated; but the uplink
measurements are identical to the downlink measurements for the other
phone in the pair.
• In the ACU TerraTec setup, the uplink elements are populated with copies
of the downlink measurements for the other phone in the pair.
• In the AQM module based setup, uplink measurements are those
performed by the CallGenerator. If an MRU is used instead, no uplink
measurements are made, and the uplink information elements are not
populated.
• In the VoIP setups and in on-device measurement regardless of bearer,
uplink measurements do not exist, and the uplink information elements
are not populated.

3.10. Uplink (MTR) Information Elements

3.10.1. General
This section lists the information elements in the GSM Uplink category.
These originate from MTR (Mobile Traffic Recording) files, which can be
recorded in GSM cellular networks using infrastructure from Ericsson and
contain event data produced in the Base Station Controller (BSC), as well as
measurement data from the BTS and from the mobile device itself.
Pre-14.0 versions of TEMS Investigation had a function for merging MTR
data into TEMS Investigation logfiles. This function has been removed, but
the GSM Uplink information elements are retained to preserve compatibility.
The GSM Uplink category includes further elements besides those listed,
including RxLev and RxQual (Full and Sub) for both uplink and downlink. All
such elements have precisely the same ranges and meanings as the
corresponding elements in section 3.1, and so they have been omitted here.

Chapter 4. Information Element Support in Devices

4. Information Element Support


in Devices

This chapter details which devices support which information elements, for all
cellular technologies where this is non-trivial.
Elements derived from positioning equipment are not included in the tables.
In the Information Elements column, <string>* means all IEs beginning with
<string>. The asterisk (*) sometimes appears as a wildcard also in other
positions.
A gray checkmark means that the IE support is restricted to a subset of the
devices in the column, or that only part of the IE data is obtained for these
devices. See the accompanying footnote for details.
The tables include certain devices/chipsets that are no longer connectable in
this version of TEMS Investigation; these are printed in non-boldface. They
are retained here since old logfiles recorded with the devices in question can
still be loaded in the application. There also exist information elements which
are unique to one or more of these devices.

4.1. GSM Information Elements


• Sony Ericsson Xperia arc and X10 are covered by the Qualcomm “HSPA,
HSPA+” column.
• Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S LT18a/i and Sony Xperia V LT25i, Xperia T
LT30a have their own column under “Sony/Sony Er.”.
• The “Sony/Sony Er.” column containing W995 is also valid for TM506 and
W760i as well as for Samsung Galaxy S 4G and Infuse 4G, except where
otherwise noted.
• Scanning elements supported by the SRU are the same as those
supported by the Sony Ericsson W995 phones.
• The Nokia column containing C5/C7 is also valid for N75, N80, 6720,
7376.

11. Not supported by Sony Ericsson W760i.


12. Note on Nokia phones: VTQI is based on transport channel BLER.
Nokia phones do not report BLER for individual transport channels but
only an average over all channels (see “Trsp Ch BLER, DL (Log)”). This
means that VTQI scores based on Nokia reports will not be accurate if
further transport channels are used in parallel with the one used for the
video call.

4.6. Media Quality Information Elements


For circuit-switched, Media Quality information elements are populated by
AQM-capable devices; these are listed in the Device Configuration Guide,
section 2.4. In the course of VoIP testing, Media Quality information elements
can be populated by any device used for that purpose (that is, almost any
device that can be used for data transfer).
The precise set of Media Quality elements that is obtained depends on the
AQM testing configuration and, in some of these configurations, on what
hardware is used at the other end. For full details, see chapter 5.
One further limitation is that during CS voice testing, PESQ is not computed
for the AMR-WB speech codec. This limitation does not apply to VoIP.

Information Elements in AQM
Solutions

Which Media Quality information elements are obtained differs between the
various AQM solutions offered by TEMS Investigation. This chapter provides
full detail in this regard. (TEMS Automatic logfiles recorded by RTUs are also
covered here.)
Regarding device-related limitations, see section 4.6.

In the ACU R2 column, “CG” means that the information element is obtained
only in the mobile-to-fixed configuration, where calls are made to a
CallGenerator.
In the VoIP, ODM MTSI column, “R2” means that the information element is
obtained only if the devices are connected to the PC via an ACU R2 box.

The TEMS Automatic (“TA”) columns are to be interpreted as follows:


• TA, CallGen., analog: TEMS Automatic, RTUs (Remote Test Units)
engaging CallGenerator with analog calling card
• TA, CallGen., digital: TEMS Automatic, RTUs engaging CallGenerator
with digital calling card
• TA, mobile to mobile: TEMS Automatic, RTUs engaging Mobile
CallGenerator (MCG)

6. Notes on Data Service Testing


Elements

6.1. Application Layer Throughput


At high throughput rates, the application layer throughput as presented in
TEMS Investigation is more spiky and unstable than the throughput in lower
protocol layers. Most probably, this phenomenon is caused by the buffering in
the third-party FTP client used by TEMS Investigation. By contrast, CPU load
or buffering capacity are unlikely causes of the application throughput
fluctuations.

6.2. Network Bandwidth (Iperf)


The waveform in Network Bandwidth line charts will be jagged and not
smooth, due to the low resolution of the Iperf process.

6.3. Streaming over HTTP


The “Streaming Player” and “Streaming Playout” information elements may
not be populated in certain configurations:
• When the DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) protocol is
used in conjunction with ActionScript 3.x player.
• When the HTML5 player is used.
Another limitation is that the ActionScript 2.x player only supports HTTPS (not
HTTP) URLs.
